“'I know that he came back into the main villa, with Movie Night, and things got very awkward between the three of them. But those two definitely vibed big time.”
He said it wasn’t “legit-legit,” but continued: “There was definitely some more going on, definitely, it's kinda hard to say.
“I mean, yeah, there was definitely more flirting going on and some of the lads were like ‘woah’ at points, but it wasn't too serious where you could actually see them cracking on but there were definitely some moments where you were like Billy and Gemma, you never know, you never know.”
Billy left the show single, while Gemma and Luca pursued their romance and have gone from strength to strength on the outside world, with Luca finally meeting Gemma’s famous dad.
Since leaving the villa, Billy has discussed what went on with himself and Gemma.

Surrey lad Billy joined Laura Whitmore on the couch to discuss his Love Island journey.
Billy first made a beeline for Paige Thorne, moved onto Tasha Ghouri and then embarked on a romance with Danica Taylor - which ended in explosive fashion.
The roofing company director said: "Usually I go for brunettes, but Tasha ended up being a bit of me as well.
"We went round a friend route with Paige and then Tasha was giving me a bit of a vibe so we ended up there, which I'm not complaining about."
Laura then asked the cheeky chappie about his flirty relationship with Gemma.
